Maybe paint them black so they don't stand out as much?

Also, my jig question is geared toward finding an alternative to the punishers at my local tackle shop to fish with the F-N-F. Maybe something more readily available to people that don't live close to the lake. Not that I am against punisher or anything, just wondering if there are alternatives.
Well in Colorado where Fly fishing is popular. A lot of people cannot or do not learn to use a regular Fly rod.( Casting the fly line ) But have come up with a way to use any weightless fly with a regular spinning rod. And have great success when only a fly will do! They use a Torpedo float. Your main line ties to the top, And then tie Fluorocarbon tippet to the bottom for desires depth. And tie the fly to that. The float is heavy enough to cast and take the fly with it. And they work pretty good! My Daughter loves them! That way she can catch a fish on one of Dads flies ! Without learning to cast a regular fly rod.
I have a pack in front of me that is 1/8 oz. Made by Rainbow plastics in Berthoud,Colorado. Ph # 970-532-7090 These are a chartreuse color. I have had clear or red also.

I am pretty sure that I bought these at the BP/ Bass Pro shop in Jamestown , Ky. But have seen them several places. This would take the three way swivel out of the F-n-F setup ! And allow you to use any bait or spinning rod !!!
